H 252 (2021) MODIFY SURETY /BAIL BOND/BONDSMEN PROVISIONS. (NEW) Filed Mar 9 2021, AN ACT TO MODIFY
QUALIFICATIONS AND TESTING PROCEDURES FOR BAIL BONDSMEN AND RUNNERS AND TO MODIFY VARIOUS
PROVISIONS RELATED TO BAIL BOND FORFEITURES.
Conference report make the following changes to the 4th edition.
Section 3
Amends GS 1 5A -544.4(e), which requires the notice of forfeiture of a bail bond following a defendant's failure to appear to be
mailed within 30 days of the date on which the defendant fails to appear as required and a call and fail is ordered. Repeals the
provision which deems the forfeiture to not be a final judgment and prohibits enforcement or reporting of the judgement if the
required notice is not given within the prescribed time.
Further amends GS 15A-544.5 relating to setting aside a forfeiture. Requires a motion to set aside a forfeiture by reason of the
notice having not met the prescribed time required in GS 15A-544.4(e), to be filed within 30 days of the date the notice was
given pursuant to GS 15A- 544.4(d) (which provides for effect of the notice upon its mailing). Makes organizational changes.
Allows for a court to consider two separate motions to set aside a specific forfeiture if one is a motion to set aside for reason
that the notice did not meet the prescribed time required in GS 1 5A-544.4(e).
Amends GS 1 5A-544.8 to prohibit a court from granting relief to a defendant or surety named in the judgement on the grounds
of notice having not been given as provided in GS 15A-544.4, if solely due to failure to provide notice within 30 days as
required by GS 15A-544.4(e).
Adds the following new content.
Section 4
Recodifies GS 20-107, which deems injuring or tampering with a vehicle a Class 2 misdemeanor offense, as GS 14-160.4.
Amends GS 20-49 to include enforcement of GS 1 4-1 60.4, as recodified, in the powers granted to the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles and designated officers and inspectors of the Division of Motor Vehicles, the Highway Patrol, and law enforcement
officers of the Department of Public Safety (DPS). Applies to offenses committed on or after December 1 . 2022.
